You can only gain ONE free tech level in a given year - either through battle, invasion, or scrapping (either scrapping that you do or scrapping that someone else does for you).
If you gain research from battle, it gets reported as the precise amount of resources you need for the one level you gain.
Now, if you invade a planet from ships you have in orbit as a waypoint 0 task, that will happen before any battles happen and, if you gain tech from that invasion, you can not gain tech from a later battle.
Production (including research) happens in the turn processing before battle. So, if you are researching propulsion and only need 600 resources to get to level, you get to the next propulsion level. In a battle that happens in the same turn, you may very well get the same amount of resources you needed for the level you just researched - i.e. you are at prop 5 at the start of the turn, you researech prop 6 and have a battle with a ship with a prop 6 engine - you get the resources but have already researched the level.
It would be worth loading the previous turn and find out how many resources you needed for the next level of tech in the field you received resources in.
Of, if yo want, you can send me all the turn files (with your turn password) and the previous turn file and I will be able to provide a precise analysis of what happened to you.
